The Safety of Your Ears is in Your HandsGet the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:• Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distortion. • Once you have established a comfortable sound

level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t

hear what’s around you.• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations.• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized

vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

POWER-CORD CAUTIONHandle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

FeaturesThis unit is a 4-channel DJ mixer carrying over the technology of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard for club sound. It is not only equipped with a variety of functions for DJ performances, including USB sound card, BEAT COLOR FX, SOUND COLOR FX and BEAT EFFECT, it also uses a high sound quality, high reliability design and a panel layout with high operability to provide powerful support for all DJ performances.

24 bit/96 kHz STEREO 4-IN 4-OUT SOUND CARDThis unit is equipped with a 24 bit/96 kHz stereo 4-in 4-out compatible USB sound card.This unit supports ASIO/Core Audio standards, so it can be used not only for DJ performances with DJ software but also with a wide variety of other software applications, including for software for creating music.! Four sets of stereo sound from a single computer can be input to the

respective channels and mixed.! Up to four sets of stereo sound can be output to the computer from

the respective channels (channels 1 to 4, REC OUT, crossfader sides A and B and microphone).

! The sampling rate can be switched between 96 kHz, 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz.

BEAT COLOR FX/SOUND COLOR FXThis unit inherits and further evolves the SOUND COLOR FX feature popular on the DJM series. This feature offers four types of effects, and effects can be achieved simply by turning the [COLOR] control provided for each channel, enabling improvisational performances. The BEAT COLOR FX function that changes the effect in association with the sound of the respective channels makes for even more dynamic perfor-mances than before.

BEAT EFFECTThis unit also inherits the BEAT EFFECT feature popular on the DJM series, equipped with 13 types of effects. The BEAT COLOR FX and SOUND COLOR FX effects can be combined to create some 100 different effects, letting the DJ produce a wide variety of sounds.

HIGH SOUND QUALITYEfforts have been made to improve and enhance sound quality for the digital/analog inputs/outputs. 96 kHz sampling and sound processing with a 24 bit high sound quality A/D converter and a 32 bit high sound quality D/A converter reproduce the source faithfully and provide power-ful, high grade club sound.

BUILD QUALITYThis unit uses the high performance channel faders of the DJM-900nexus and the “P-LOCK Fader Cap” mechanism for locking the fader knobs. Frequently used controls with optimized internal structures using metal shafts and other measures are taken to achieve smooth operation and high endurance.

STANDARD LAYOUTThis unit carries over the control panel layout of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard in DJ mixers.

The simple, straightforward layout of the control panel not only makes for easy DJ performances, it also allows DJs using it for the first time to operate it without hesitation.

1 The audio data is output with the same volume at which it is input to this unit, regardless of the [USB Output Level] setting.

2 When using for any purposes other than sound recording, pay attention to set the DJ software so that sound loops are not generated. If sound loops are gener-ated, sound with an unintended volume might be input or output.

3 Click the [USB Output Level] pull-down menu.Adjust the volume of the audio data output from this unit.! The [USB Output Level] setting is applied equally to all audio data.

However, when 1 on the table at step 2 is selected, the audio data is output with the same volume at which it is input to this unit.

! If not enough volume can be achieved with the DJ software’s volume adjustment alone, change the [USB Output Level] setting to adjust the volume of the audio data output from this unit. Note that the sound will be distorted if the volume is raised too high.

� Adjusting the buffer size (when using Windows ASIO)

If an application using this unit as the default audio device (DJ software, etc.) is running, quit that application before adjusting the buffer size.Display the setting utility before starting.

Click the [ASIO] tab.

! If the buffer size is made large, drops in audio data (breaks in the sound) occur less easily, but the time lag due to the delay in the transfer of the audio data (latency) increases.
